Snippets of ‘a better story’ could be heard last week at the ARC conference. But what we need is not a white, Anglo-American, conservative, capitalist, Christian nationalist story attempting to turn the clock back to ‘Christendom’.

In these days of global geopolitical turmoil, there seems to have arisen in Europe a nostalgia for a vision of the world that is very reminiscent of the gospel.

A nation whose leaders once spoke of the USA as a “city on a hill” and “the light of the world” is now having a president who is projecting imperial ambitions (similar to those of the Russian Federation) with a distinctly transactional mindset.

The United States should act in accordance with the beliefs it claims to hold, says Ruslan Kukharchuck. Other evangelicals in Europe are wondering if US Christian ministries will also cool down their relationship with churches on this side of the Atlantic.

Schuman warned that democracy cut off from the Christian values of peace, solidarity, freedom of conscience and rule of law would degenerate into tyranny. Autocratic rulers espousing Christian language are cloaking this degeneration.

In an interview, Frank Heinrich of the Evangelical Alliance in Germany, shares his impressions - and where he was annoyed by Donald Trump.

Europe now watches aghast as a brazen, unbridled imperialism makes claims on Panama, Canada, Greenland and Gaza. Trump joins those wolves in sheep’s clothing he admires like Putin, Orban and Wilders, masquerading as defenders of the faith. 

The authors of this statement are calling on Christians and churches to overcome the either–or mentality, and to embrace a view that promotes unity in diversity.

One reader, who teaches at a seminary in Asia, told me that a student enrolled online had to drop out to care for his pregnant wife, who was living in a Thai refugee camp where the hospitals shut down due to the US aid cutoff.

Few remember how distrusting, fearful and uncertain the post-war years of the late 1940s were, with lives, bodies, families, cities and nations having been broken, disrupted and destroyed. How do you rebuild out of such brokenness?

He compared himself to the biblical King David, without mentioning God or Jesus at any point in the ceremony, which was opposed in the streets by thousands.

Pundits warn that in 2025 we are heading back to the law of the jungle, a world where might is right and money manipulates.

The Congress Hall of Honour hosts the film ‘Amada’ and the signing of the Commitment to Life by senators and deputies from several parties.

Some evangelicals still do not know how to translate the Bible into more political areas than the defence of life and family; Carter opened a way for us to explore.

A Baptist Christian, Carter dedicated his life, after a political career, to promoting reconciliation and peace in the world.

After the fall of the al-Asad regime, we are reminded of cases such as Libya and Iraq, where war did not lead to stable governments.

Christians say that “the Cuban state refuses to open spaces for the exercise of fundamental rights”, and denounce the application of heavy fines to religious leaders.

Our Christian presence will bring new life into each sphere, much as the expansion of the early church eventually turned the Roman Empire upside down.

Let us continue to pray for more ‘moments of grace’, and a just and lasting end to this war.
